Kings XI Punjab

Captain: George Bailey

Kings XI Punjab Biography

Kings XI Punjab start the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 in the hunt for their maiden IPL trophy with high hopes, especially after securing some mouth-watering signings in the auctions. From the legendary Adam Gilchrist, the baton has now passed on to George Bailey and a fresh Australian core.

Indian batting legend Virender Sehwag’s signing made a lot of noise in the auctions and this stint with Punjab might turn out to be a new lease of life for the Nawab of Najafgarh. In Glenn Maxwell, Punjab have one of the most exiting T20 players and captain Bailey is also one of the best players going around in this format.

Mitchell Johnson’s road to greatness started with last season’s IPL. This year he returns as one of the most feared bowler in the world. Punjab’s main weakness is the supporting cast of bowlers who don’t quite live up to the lofty standards of Johnson.

The spin bowling department is also a cause for worry but like some of the other teams, their superlative batting can cover up for their flaws. David Miller and Thisara Perera provide further big-hitting options and the Punjab youngsters are a group that plays with lot of heart. Expect a lot of exciting cricket from this bunch.
